DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
A-5722-07T3
Plaintiff International School Services, Inc. (ISS) is a
New Jersey corporation that employs teachers who work in schools
located in Asia and South America. None of the teachers work in
New Jersey. Plaintiff sought a declaratory judgment to determine
whether it was obligated to provide workers' compensation
insurance to its overseas employees pursuant to the New Jersey
Workers' Compensation Act, N.J.S.A. 34:15-1 to -142.
In determining whether an employer must provide workers'
compensation coverage, the trial court must analyze the
connection between plaintiff's overseas employees and New Jersey
in accordance with the standards set forth in Connolly v. Port
